Housing in Port Neches compared to Tampa
Been meaning to ask this. You can expect to pay around $1,116 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 13,627 people. Median household income is $84,335, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 70--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,116/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Friendly people
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
